CareCore National donates $250K to John Paul II Catholic School

John Paul II Catholic School received $750,000 in financial gifts from two separate organizations.

The Theresa and Edward O’Toole Foundation appropriated $500,000 to the school, while CareCore National donated $250,000.

CareCore National donated to John Paul II Catholic School to honor the leadership of its founding CEO and Chairman of the Board, Donald Rogers Ryan.

Prior to his death, Ryan donated his time to John Paul II Catholic School as co-chair of the capital campaign. The school’s Research and Technology Center will be named in his honor.

CareCore National is an evidence-based health care solutions company. As a specialty benefit management company, CareCore authorizes the use of various outpatient diagnostic procedures to ensure quality health care by embracing the latest standards.

The Diocese of Charleston is building John Paul II Catholic School on 72 acres of land on Route 170 across from Camp Saint Mary’s Road. The school will offer a unique, challenging and comprehensive program of instruction, athletics, and student activities for seventh- through twelfth-grade students.

John Paul II Catholic School will begin operations in August with seventh- through ninth-grade and possibly tenth-grade students.

The Theresa and Edward O’Toole Foundation is an independent foundation that has been a strong supporter of community needs on both the east and west coasts. Members of the John Paul II core team made the initial request in 2011 and learned of the award when the first payment of $100,000 was received. The remainder of the award will be paid to the school over the next several years.

With these recent donations, the John Paul II Catholic School capital campaign has surpassed $9 million in pledges and one-time gifts. Approximately $12 million is needed to complete Phase I of the project, which includes the two-story school, multi-purpose field, and gymnasium.
